新生儿出院准备度与不良健康事件的关系

Association between neonatal discharge preparedness and adverse health events

目的 探讨新生儿出院准备度与发生不良健康事件的关系。方法 选取甘肃省3个不同级别医院出生的新生儿及父母为研究对象,调查新生儿父母的出院准备度,将出院准备度分为低、中、高水平3组;随访新生儿出院后1个月内不良健康事件的发生情况,分析新生儿出院准备度与不良健康事件的关系。结果 发生不良健康事件的新生儿出院准备度低于未发生不良健康事件的新生儿(P<0.05)。多因素logistic回归分析显示,出院准备度中水平组和高水平组的新生儿不良健康事件发生率较低水平组分别减少了34.8%和78.7%(P<0.05)。新生儿再入院率为8.1%(35/430),因病再入院的新生儿出院准备度低于未因病再入院的新生儿(P<0.05)。多因素logistic回归分析显示,出院准备度中水平组和高水平组的新生儿再入院率较低水平组分别减少了67.4%和84.2%(P<0.05)。结论 出院准备度会影响新生儿出院后1个月内不良健康事件的发生率和再入院率。医护人员应开展有效的干预措施来提高新生儿出院准备度,以降低不良健康事件的发生率和再入院率。

Objective To study the association between neonatal discharge preparedness and adverse health events.Methods The neonates who were born in hospitals from different regions of Gansu Province in China and their parents were enrolled as subjects, and an investigation was performed for the discharge preparedness. According to the level of discharge preparedness, the subjects were divided into low-, middle-, and high-level groups. The neonates were followed up to observe the incidence rate of adverse health events within one month after discharge. The association between neonatal discharge preparedness and adverse health events was analyzed. Results The neonates with adverse health events had a significantly lower level of discharge preparedness than those without adverse events(P<0.05). The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the incidence rate of adverse health events was reduced by 34.8% in the middle-level group and 78.7% in the high-level group compared with the low-level group(P<0.05). The readmission rate of neonates was 8.1%(35/430), and the neonates readmitted had a significantly lower level of discharge preparedness than those not readmitted(P<0.05). The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the readmission rate of neonates was reduced by 67.4% in the middle-level group and 84.2% in the high-level group compared with the low-level group(P<0.05). Conclusions Discharge preparedness may affect the incidence of adverse health events and the rate of readmission within one month after discharge. Medical staff should adopt effective intervention measures to improve discharge preparedness, so as to reduce the incidence of adverse health events and the rate of readmission.
